THE REGION OF THE NECK. 189 the special designation of the vertebra prominens. Owing to the obliquityof the spinous process of the fifth vertebra, it is on a level with the diskbetween the bodies of the fifth and sixth. On the sides the transverseprocess of the atlas vertebra can be felt in front of and below the mastoidprocess, and by deep pressure in the supra-clavicular fossa the transverseprocess of the seventh vertebra can be distinguished. About a fingersbreadth above the latter, the head being moved from side to side, theanterior tubercle of the sixth vertebra is perceptible to the touch, which,because of its relation to the overlying carotid artery, is known as the carotid tubercle. In the front of the neck the hyoid bone and the external cartilagesof the larynx, the thyroid and cricoid, offer reliable indications to
